  3. I use to be an apprentice accountant. not so much actually accountanting but I did bookkeeping & things of that nature. At first it seems overwhelming because all of the numbers but after 2 to 3 times doing it I kinda just feel into a routine. I liked the job, it was a really good exercise for my brain however, my boss was a pain in the ass and expected be as good as her right away even though I was still being trained. I quit because she was making the job harder than what it actually was, but it was such good money I’m honestly thinking about going to college for accounting and just working at a more professional firm. I’m still in highschool, I wanna be a nurse but I already have experience in accounting so it just makes more sense to do that. I plan on being a accountant, then once I’ve learned everything I can learn from there transition into becoming a nurse than once I gain all the wisdom from that then finally retire as kindergarten teacher. It feels like a stretch but I can do all things through God.
